I love sharing about what I am doing in my home as a homemaker – the meals I’m cooking, the decor I’m bringing in, the systems I’m maintaining – but this episode goes even deeper into homemaking. I am chatting with my friend and fellow blogger Andrea about the heart behind our homemaking pursuits. As wives and mothers who have been learning and loving homemaking for well over a decade, we want to encourage you to see the beauty and creativity and opportunities that are available to you as a homemaker. May this episode empower you to reject negative depictions of homemaking and to fully embrace the powerful calling of caring for your home and family.
In this episode, we cover:
Andrea’s journey into creating a home decor blog and where she is headed now
All about the incredible resource Andrea has created to mentor homemakers
Exploring the creativity available to us as homemakers
Keeping inspiration and beauty in your home during bleak winter months
The challenge of comparison and discontentment in our connected world
Acknowledging the uncomfortable truth about time management
Breaking out of overwhelm and growing your homemaking skills little by little

ABOUT ANDREA
Andrea Francavilla married her high school sweetheart and moved back to her hometown where she purchased the home that she used to clean as a high school senior. Ten years and four boys later, Andrea and her husband Mike have worked hard to restore their 1930’s cottage on a very small budget.
